abstract
We compute the scattering amplitudes of four massless states for chiral (closed) bosonic and type II superstrings using the Kawai-Lewellen-Tye ($KLT$) factorization method. The amplitude in the chiral bosonic case is identical to a field theory amplitude corresponding to the spin-$2$ tachyon, massless gravitational sector and massive spin-2 tardyon states of the spectrum. Chiral type II superstrings amplitude only possess poles associated with the massless gravitational sector. We briefly discuss the extension of the calculation to heterotic superstrings.

The spectrum of the bosonic ambitwistor string revisited
The bosonic ambitwistor string spectrum is confined to the massless sector and contains the dilaton, metric, Kalb-Ramond field plus an extra vector, but is non-unitary.
